The Water Dragon's Bride
241 Views · Ongoing · Isabella Raven
Every girl in my village dreams of the Choosing — the day the Dragon Emperor's court picks brides for the seven royal Wyrmlords, beasts of fire and fury who could burn a kingdom to ashes with one breath. I dream of surviving it and going home unmarried.
Instead, I get the one dragon nobody wants.
Rhyan doesn't breathe fire. He spurts water, in humiliating little bursts, while the court howls with laughter and his brothers call him "the puddle." He's supposed to be a joke, a mistake the gods made and never fixed.
But I've seen what he does when he loses control. I've felt what happens when that so-called defect meets his temper, and it's not weak. It's a flood that could swallow a city whole, if he ever stopped holding it back.
Nobody warned me that the "broken" dragon is the most dangerous one in the palace. Nobody warned me I'd end up wanting to be the reason he stops holding back.
Marrying him was supposed to be my punishment. Falling for him feels like drowning — and for the first time in my life, I don't want to come up for air.
